Installed my UnderCover Flex folding toneau cover today

Very easy installation with straight forward instructions, and appears to be a quality product. It was also packaged very well. Ordered on TruckAddOns.com for $680 (they price matched amazon).


I love that it allows you to utilize almost the whole bed, and is very secure when flipped up. The prop rods lock into place and come greased well too.




Well folded partially there are clips as shown to hold them in place, also seem pretty sturdy. Takes away from the clean look when it's closed all the way, but really not that noticeable.








Had to drill a 5/8 hole through the existing plastic plug, no biggie... but may get in the way if you are carrying something... should be out of the way for a bed full of 2x4s though.Tubing is pretty thick too, so I'm not worried about it getting cut.





Finished product, love it! (The discoloration is just dust from the packaging.

I ended up going with those flares, they're sitting in my garage waiting for my paint guy to give me a call with a price for doing the hood patch and tail gate stripe, and PTM those flares. Can't wait!

Definitely keeping the stock wheels for now, just going to space them out for the flares until I wear out the Pirelli's, then I'll level lift and go with 35's I think. Somebody told me they think "the truck looks very 80's with the neon red, stripes, and black wheels..." which I thought was kind of funny..I guess I see it.

As for the Light bar, I'm going to be putting a 40" Rigid flood/spot behind the grill. Waiting on $ to order it... with a baby due in 18 days we'll see how money is doing lol

My black Carriage Works billet grill is in Canada getting stainless steel F O R D lettering mocked up and bolted on. Going PTM the lettering. Can't wait to get it back and installed! Should have the fender flared PTM and installed in the next week or two also.

Just heard from Kyle (1999f1504x4), he has finished making the stainless steel FORD lettering and has attached it to my black Carriage Works grill. Just got pics from him.







I'll likely be PTM'ing the lettering when I get my fender flares painted, but I'll install it this way first just to see.

Can't wait to install it! Thanks Kyle!
